California Baptist University – Commercial Music Building

Built for Creative Production

The 15,000 SF Commercial Music Building at California Baptist University is designed to support the next generation of music creators, providing a purpose-built environment for recording, production, and performance. Located on a prominent triangular site within the campus, the facility expands the Collinsworth School of Performing Arts and establishes a dedicated home for the University’s growing Commercial Music program.

Spaces Tuned for Performance

At the center of the building is a flagship recording studio, supported by a range of student production studios designed for flexibility and hands-on learning. Each space is carefully calibrated to support a range of uses, from individual production work to collaborative recording, giving students access to professional-grade environments that reflect the realities of the industry they are preparing to enter.

Precision in Design

Given the technical demands of sound, the building is shaped by a rigorous approach to acoustic performance. Close coordination with acoustic consultants informed the design of walls, systems, and adjacencies to ensure sound isolation and clarity throughout. The result is a highly controlled environment where creativity and technical precision work together, supporting both the craft of music production and the experience of learning it.
